Description
Kattibuale's dried Pantelleria Oregano encapsulates all the fragrance of the Sicilian Mediterranean! It is an aromatic herb with an intense aroma produced on the island's terraces, capable of withstanding often harsh climatic conditions: the island, very close to Tunisia, is known for its fierce winds, cold nights, and long periods of drought. The oregano is harvested in late spring, starting from the agricultural lands closest to the sea, when the flowering period is practically over. Handpicked, it is left to dry in the sun and then crumbled, always by hand, according to traditional methods. The final stage of processing involves sifting the oregano multiple times to separate the woody residues and leaves from the final product, before it is stored in cool, dry places, preferably in the dark.
